Nevin and Annie’s story might surprise you a little. Was it conventional? Not even close. But then again, the best love stories usually aren’t.

Let’s rewind to 2018. Poppy (Annie’s sister) had just met Nevin at a retreat and immediately called Annie, glowing with excitement. “I found you the perfect man,” she said. “You guys would be great together.” She sent Annie a photo, and after one glance, Annie laughed and joked, “I wanna marry that boy.”

Cute, right?

Well, here's the catch - Nevin did not know Annie. And Annie? She forgot about her prophecy.

So, you’re probably wondering how two kids on opposite coasts met right? Fast track to October of 2024. Enter Poppy again (clearly the MVP) and Nevin’s cousin Deepu - the ultimate matchmaking duo- who decided it was finally time for fate to catch up. They introduced the two, and let’s just say...sparks didn’t just fly, they booked round trip tickets.

From that moment on, Annie and Nevin were inseparable. How inseparable? Try 38 flights in six months inseparable. Them and Jake from TSA? Best friends, on a first name basis.

So, in July of 2025, Nevin made it official and put a ring on it - because when you know, you really do know. The moral of the story? Never underestimate a joke you made six years ago. God has a funny sense of humor and perfect timing.

We’re so excited for our wedding day and for our future together. We’re endlessly grateful to God, our family, and our friends who played a part in bringing us here. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you- the people who’ve been cheering us on since flight number one!
